TL;DR

Nikkei reports Nintendo is prepping a Switch 2 version for the EU with a user-replaceable battery (and redesigned Joy‑Con batteries) to comply with the EU’s 2027 right-to-repair rules. No launch date or regional plans are confirmed, and Nintendo hasn’t commented yet; the EU policy requires changes by 2027, with potential implications for other regions if similar laws spread.
